Picture it. The song that makes you think of your loved ones begins. A baby picture fades in and you watch as your child grows up. This is only one of the many possibilities you can achieve when you take those old photos and transfer them to a high-quality, long-lasting DVD.

Anniversaries, birthdays, family reunions, graduations, and farewells are a few great occasions to gather your special photos, select the perfect music and create a one-of-a-kind gift that is perfect for any occasion.

What's Included with Your Photo Transfer

Digital High Resolution Scan

In order to obtain the best possible quality of the photos to be included in your production, we scan each photo individually. Although time consuming, the quality is well worth it.

Opening or Closing Title on Video

One title to either introduce your video production or a special message at the conclusion. We recommend a closing title for photo transfers.

Special Effects

Smooth transitions and professional special effects will complement your music selections.

Free CD or Data DVD

A free CD or data DVD with your slides saved as JPEG files is included at no additional charge with your minimum slide order. Share your slides on the Internet or make prints from your slides.

Background Music

We will add background music to the entire length of the transfer. This can be from our library of family-oriented, easy listening music or you can provide your own selection on CDs to bring your photos to life. See our additional services for supplying your own audio or custom audio to your transfer.

You may request a group of photos to correspond with a particular song. To accomplish this, you need to provide the audio CDs and instructions with your order (i.e. Envelope No. 1 - photos 1-35, CD title, song title, and track number).

Preparing Your Home Movies for Transfer

1. Number Your Reels

- Gather your film reels and determine the size of each to estimate the total footage of film.Click for a printable film sizing guide

- If you want your film reels transferred in a specific order, number all reels in the order. While numbering, should you omit or misnumber a reel, add a letter to the number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 3a, 4, etc.) and cross out any old numbers.

- When numbering your reels, please underline all numbers as the numbers 6 and 9 can be confused on round reels.

- Use either stickers or write the numbers directly on the boxes. Post-its tend to fall off.

- Keep film formats together to avoid extra charges.

2. Select a Title for Your Transfer

"The Smith Family Memories", "The Adventures of the Wells Family", "The Johnsons" are a few suggestions. If a title is not desired, please indicate NO TITLE on the order form. Otherwise, we will begin your production with the title of "Memories."

3. Background MusicOur easy listening music or customized background music is provided free of charge for photo to videotape orders at the time of transfer. We suggest you provide your own music on CDs for added sentimental value.
